Bobby Smith (208) is the only other player to score more than 200 goals for the north London club, while Martin Chivers' 174 goals between 1968 and 1976 places him third on the list.

Jermain Defoe, Teddy Sheringham and Robbie Keane are all ahead of Kane, but he has passed the totals of other big names - such as former England striker Gary Lineker and German World Cup winner Jurgen Klinsmann.

Kane made his Tottenham debut in 2011 and has scored at least 20 goals in each of the past three Premier League seasons, including 29 goals in 30 games last term.

Spurs manager Mauricio Pochettino, who joked earlier this week that he was "in love" with Kane, said after Tuesday's hat-trick that the striker has "unbelievable skills" in front of goal.

"He is something special - a killer. It is a special skill," the Argentine added.

An incredible year

Kane's treble in the 3-0 win over Cypriot side Apoel Nicosia was his ninth of his Spurs career - and a sixth of a productive 2017.
